In Koukouldi, Burkina Faso, members of the Evangelical Baptist Church “The Good Fight” concluded a week of prayer focused on peace and social unity by donating supplies to the local health and social promotion center.

The church’s prayer week, which began on September 16, 2026, centered around biblical teachings, worship, and prayers for peace, social cohesion, and the Burkinabé defense forces. Participants used the week to strengthen their faith and commitment to their community.

As a practical demonstration of their dedication, the church provided the health center with benches, chairs, detergent, and blood pressure monitors to improve working conditions for staff and patient care. Pastor Philippe Bado explained that the church believes its role extends beyond spiritual activities to include supporting the community in all ways possible, linking faith to development work. Health center officials welcomed the donation, stating it would strengthen their ability to serve the local population.
